In addition to applicable Federal, State and other local permits,
a permit for floodplain development is required for construction of
flood control projects. The purpose for the permit is to examine the
impact on flood hazard areas, floodways, and base flood elevations
shown on the FIRM. Unless otherwise authorized by separate regulations,
issuance of this permit does not address the sufficiency of the structural
elements of the proposed flood control project. Permits for floodplain
development and building permits in areas affected by proposed flood
control projects shall not be issued based on Conditional Letters
of Map Revision issued by FEMA.
(Ord. CS 1301 §2, 2021)
Applications for permits for flood control projects shall include
documentation, including, but not limited to:
A.
Site
plan or document showing the existing topography and the boundaries
of the flood hazard areas, floodway boundaries, and base flood elevations
shown on the FIRM.
B.
Site
plan or document showing the proposed topography and the proposed
changes to the boundaries of the flood hazard areas, floodway boundaries,
and base flood elevations.
C.
The
documentation submitted to FEMA for a Conditional Letter of Map Revision
(CLOMR) and, if issued, the Conditional Letter of Map Revision. Submittal
requirements and processing fees shall be the responsibility of the
applicant. A CLOMR is required when a proposed flood control project
alters a floodway and increases base flood elevations more than greater
than 0.00 feet, or alters a watercourse a riverine flood hazard area
for which base flood elevations are included in the Flood Insurance
Study or on the FIRM and floodways have not been designated and increases
base flood elevations more than 1.0 foot.
